Not everyone - and it's a large, but silent contingent - here appreciates Doc's incessant postings. If he'd just confine it a single forum that would be fine.

But personally, I don't consider him an asset here on FT. I realize others do. But there is no middle ground. He is _really_ not appreciated by us longtime FTers.

I also miss Doc and would love to know what happened, can anyone help ???

Kokonutz, slow down on caffeine !!!

I am pretty long-time (old even) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif and i very much appreciate and miss doc. He is very, very smart, really cares about others and doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

I will admit that I don't read all the news stuff he posts, but then I don't read 90% of the other Flyer Talk posts either unless somebody actually tells me to go read them, so it doesn't matter to me who posts what.

essexjay. Surely you should have learn a lesson from the recent debate in this heated thread where dozens of longtime FT'ers attacked your same contention above re Doc? Many FT'ers here longer than you have posted on both threads to the contrary. Please do NOT presume to speak for everyone on FT with your anti-doc rants. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Drop it!

What exactly is a "longtime FTer"? Where is the cutoff point? And why? And who appointed you spokesperson for the group?

Whatever it was that you had or thought you had is gone. Things change. FT changes. Get ovet it.

I don't own this great place, have not been appointed moderator or talkboard member, don't have any more rights than any other fellow member but:

please oh please let my humble post be the last one here, this has gone on far too long...

OK, done with a few other things - still not caught up but it seems this topic has surely ben worn out. Spring 'Break' is over, time to go back to travel. I know, it's such a bummer to have to talk miles and points again, but let's remember folks, that's why you are here for an education.
